Branzino and the Mushroom Pasta were spectacular. Would definitely come back again just to order these two dishes. We ended with the Chocolate Cookie dessert which was the perfect amount of sweetness. Hostess was super accommodating by letting us sit at the bar on a busy Saturday night. Elegant atmosphere
The Branzino was the best I've tried anywhere. Excellent wine selection, and some interesting options like kambucha with 6.9% alcohol. The Mushroom Pasta with Truffles was very mildly flavored, and according to our guest who ordered it, he wouldn't order it again.
The service was seamless and outstanding.
Oh so delicious! Our server was also fabulously attentive and helpful with ordering a family style meal for our party of 5.
One of us is slightly allergic to fish (me), but the rest of my party was able to eat all the fish dishes and said it was delicious. I had more than my fill of the mushroom pasta which was SO GOOD! We kept eating and eating but it was hard to put a dent in the portion we got!
The cookie dessert was good, as well as the tiramisu.
We were there during a heat wave (90 degrees in September?! Whyyyy?!) - so we sat inside which was a little noisy & busy on a Thursday evening, but we had a blast!! Would come again.
![4]( "Recensione")
Food: Wild Mushroom Mafalde (roasted wild mushrooms, garlic butter, aleppo pepper)
Drink: White Sangria (pinot grigio, apricot brandy, tea syrup, lemon bitters, soda water) & a shot of the Watermelon Gimlet (Tanqueray gin, watermelon, lime, dill) *I think this was the one but they have 2 watermelons drinks*
Ambiance: Busy, elegant
Parking: There is street meter parking nearby, but it can be difficult to get a spot. There is also a parking garage right near the restaurant but you have to pay. The restaurant will validate your ticket.
Pricing: Pricey
Food (flavors): I did not get a picture of the bread and oil but I loved it! The bread was super soft and savory, and I normally don’t like my bread dipped in oil BUT I loved the taste of the oil that Porto provided. The pasta dish was fine. The pasta noodles were cooked well and I loved the texture and flavor of the mushrooms, but I would’ve liked the dish more if the flavors weren’t so subtle. I needed more garlicky and fatty flavors in the dish.
Portion size: medium-large
Drinks: I LOVED the white sangria. I love sweet cocktails but this wasn’t overly sweet and the soda water added a nice touch. This drink reminded me of an aperol spritz but better. It was overall just a nice combination of flavors. The shot had a super fresh flavor. I am not a fan of drinks that taste super fresh; I prefer drinks on the sweeter side. If you like fresh drinks, you should try this one.

The food was superb, with a wonderful atmosphere and excellent customer service an amazing evening!
Update 8/5: new shared plates main course … very good… not a lot of food barely enough for 2 people ($100). You need to ask for a lot of bread(very good focaccia). Tuna tartare is extremely small not worth for $25.
DO NOT take any table outside seating on the coach …. Very uncomfortable and very low… you have your chin on the table.
Good food … a little bit overpriced … good service…. Can’t wait to have the outside seats available. Running out of dishes sometimes: branzino is quickly sold out. Note: they should serve bread or pita … this is mandatory if you are a Mediterranean resturant! Also bring back the antipasto board ASAP…. It was fantastic!

The service was truly exceptional and the lamb chops were simply delicious. I particularly enjoyed the calamari, which was prepared to perfection. To top it off, the outdoor atmosphere was simply delightful, making for a truly memorable dining experience.
This place is pretty awesome. The location and food are both OUTSTANDING!
We ordered the lamb chops (extraordinary) and the branzino (deliciousness).
The vibe is high, the crowd is perfect and it’s just an overall great vibe.
Average entree is about $40. Drinks are about $15 per glass.
I highly recommend!
Porto was fresh, delicious and well worth the bill! Their menu was diverse and well-done. It has meat, seafood, vegetarian options and it just seems to have something for everyone. Their staff paid a great attention to detail and the service was excellent. Their food is fresh, local and perfectly done! There is no parking, and reservations would be recommended. I would highly recommend Porto for a date night, apps, snacks and drinks!
We had a company dinner here and all I can say is that the food and service were outstanding!!! The seafood was fresh and flavorful, perfectly seared scallops, the pasta and skirt steak were great, the dessert was light and full of flavor. And of course the cocktails were killer! Will definitely be back! 💯
